Scott, would you still recommend laptops with optical drives in this day and age? Do any current Lenovo ThinkPad laptops come with optical drives? According to this LifeWire article, computer optical drives are, for all all intents and purposes, on their way out.

External optical drives can be attached via USB, so having one built-in is not really necessary anymore. Scott.

Scott, are there any external optical drives that you would particularly recommend?

They are pretty universal today, I would get whatever is available for the best deal. Scott.
